Abstract
South Africa & India have rich heritage of ancient wisdom & their Traditional Medicinal Systems are part of it.
Aloe ferox is compared with Aloe vera on the basis of Ayurvedic principles & other theories. This is theoretical research & can lead to many interesting researches.
On the basis of this study, dried exudate of Kumari (Aloe vera) can be used which is not commonly seen in practice.
As Kumari (Aloe vera) shows similarity to Aloe ferox used in Traditional South African Medicine, we can use them as substitute to eachother.
This study throws light on many new uses of Kumari & also leads to researches in many fields like Ayurveda, Pharmacology, Ethnobotany, Ethnomedicine etc.
This study proves that we can compare plants of same family & genus occurring in different countries with the help of Ayurvedic principles explained in texts of DravyaGunaVidnyan.
